Haunted Wood You think you know somebody

Nightjar whined a quiet agreement and began falling back with Wildfire. She was a bit slower than she probably would've liked, so he took up the rear guard position. It was unlikely that anyone would come from the front to attack them, as it would require trespassing directly into caldera territory, which went against the nature of any wolf but those defending their claim. He thought they would make it out safely, but the rumbles coming from the wood indicated otherwise.

They were at the edge of the trees now, directly in the area between caldera and wood, and Lusa was now visibly in pursuit of them. Unwilling to let Wildfire be harmed, Nightjar turned with a heavy snarl, but instead of barreling forward with the intent to fight her one-on-one, he did what any pack wolf was hardwired to do when in close proximity to their land: he howled. Like all his howls, there was no specific message, but its purpose was a summons. If this woman and whatever back-up she had coming wanted to brawl, they could do it in the in-between, and they could do it with the entire Redhawk pack.
